Reference implementations show how real-world organizations use OpenTelemetry to build scalable, resilient pipelines that send application telemetry to observability backends. These examples span a range of organizational structures and technology stacks.

As point-in-time snapshots, reference implementations are not actively maintained and may not reflect current best practices as the OpenTelemetry project evolves.

If your organization has implemented OpenTelemetry and you think others could benefit from your experience, we would love to hear from you! Please see our guidance on how to contribute to share your reference implementation.
